英文摘要
Project Summary/Abstract
The goal of my research is to understand the cellular mechanisms that regulate topoisomerase II (topo II)
function and respond to topo II inhibition. Type II topoisomerases, such as topo II, are essential enzymes that
manage DNA superhelical structure and decatenate entangled DNA strands to facilitate critical processes such
as transcription, DNA replication, and chromosome segregation1. With respect to human health, topo II is a
tremendously important cancer target, and a variety of chemotherapeutics are clinically used to exploit the
ability to topo II to generate DNA damage and kill replicating cells. Biochemical and structural studies have
provided valuable details about the “strand passage” mechanism of topo II and the means by which synthetic
inhibitors affect this activity. However, the field lacks a clear understanding of how topo II activity is regulated in
accordance with cell needs.
To better understand how topo II is connected to regulatory pathways and DNA damage responses, I aim to
use the S. cerevisiae model system to explore the role of cellular metabolism in regulating topo II function and
perform an unbiased screen for genes involved in responding to topo II inhibition. While analyzing the
evolutionary conservation of eukaryotic topo IIs, I discovered a highly conserved pocket on topo II that interacts
with ICRF-187, a clinically approved, synthetic inhibitor that is used in chemotherapeutic regimens2. I later
discovered that this site also engages resveratrol, a natural product found in red wine3. These observations
suggest that this site may be an orphan allosteric site and inspired the hypothesis that small-molecule
metabolites may allosterically regulate topo II function. Preliminary data indicate that components of yeast
metabolite extracts are able to modulate topo II activity. Aim 1 outlines the natural product purification
strategies and mass spectrometry-based metabolite ligand screening I will employ to identify and characterize
endogenous small molecules that may have topo II-regulatory function. In addition to probing previously
unexplored connections between cellular metabolism and DNA topology, I aim to uncover pathways involved in
cellular responses to abnormal topo II activity. Thus, in Aim 2 I propose an unbiased pharmacogenetic screen
with yeast deletion and hypomorph libraries to identify alleles that affect growth in the presence of clinically-
relevant topo II inhibitors. Together, these aims have the potential to discover novel interactions between topo
II and regulatory pathways. Such discoveries, in turn, could unveil new ways to allosterically modulate topo II
function and new targets for combinatorial therapy in conjunction with anti-topoisomerase inhibitors to improve
the efficacy and/or decrease toxicity of currently available treatments.
